HDMI Output

[DaveG480]

i use my laptop when I am teaching. I connect to a big screen TV with an HDMI cable. PowerPoint presentations work fine, but I cannot get anything other than a PowerPoint slide presentation onto the TV. I would like to be able to send anything to the TV that I can generate on my computer. How can I get the computer images onto the TV?

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

Computers and TVs have a wide variety of video connection types. The video connection on your computer must match the connection on your TV or monitor.

1. Select a connection type based on your second monitor.

   • Monitor: VGA  or DVI  cable

   • TV: Video (composite)  or S-video  cable

   • High Definition TV: DVI  or HDMI  cable

2. Connect the TV or monitor to the computer using the cable you chose.

3. Connect a power cable to the TV or monitor, and then turn it on.

4. TV connections only: Change the TV video input source to match the video source connection from the computer (Line-1, Video-1, HDMI, etc.). Refer to documents that came with the TV for instructions.

   Depending on the TV, the image quality might not be as good as that of a monitor.

5. Turn on the computer.
